FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to boron-containing compounds, compositions, preparations and their use as inhibitors of beta-lactamase enzymes and as antibacterial agents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Antibiotics are the most effective drugs for curing bacteria-infectious diseases clinically. They have a wide market due to their advantages of good antibacterial effect with limited side effects. Among them, the beta-lactam class of antibiotics (for example, penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems) are widely used because they have a strong bactericidal effect and low toxicity.

To counter the efficacy of the various beta-lactams, bacteria have evolved to produce variants of beta-lactam deactivating enzymes called beta-lactamases, and in the ability to share this tool inter- and intra-species. These beta-lactamases are categorized as “serine” or “metallo” based, respectively, on presence of a key serine or zinc in the enzyme active site. The rapid spread of this mechanism of bacterial resistance can severely limit beta-lactam treatment options in the hospital and in the community. Currently available beta-lactamase inhibitors (for example, clavulanic acid and tazobactam) are poorly active against the diversity of beta-lactamase enzymes (both serine- and metallo-based) now emerging clinically. There is an urgent need for new beta-lactamase inhibitors with broadened enzyme spectrum.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Beta-lactamases are typically grouped into 4 classes: Ambler classes A, B, C, and D, based on their amino acid sequences. Enzymes in classes A, C, and D are active-site serine beta-lactamases, while class B enzymes are Zn-dependent. Newer generation cephalosporins and carbapenems were developed partly based on their ability to evade the deactivating effect of the early serine-based beta-lactamase variants. However, a recent surge in new versions of serine-based beta-lactamases—for example Class A Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) enzymes, Class A carbapenemases (e.g. KPC-2), chromosomal and plasmid mediated Class C cephalosporinases (AmpC, CMY, etc.), and Class D oxacillinases—as well as Class B metallo-beta-lactamases (e.g. VIM, NDM) has begun to diminish the utility of the beta-lactam antibiotic family, including the more recent generation beta-lactam drugs, leading to a serious medical problem. Indeed the number of catalogued serine-based beta-lactamases has exploded from less than ten in the 1970s to over 750 variants (see, e.g., Jacoby & Bush, “Amino Acid Sequences for TEM, SHV and OXA Extended-Spectrum and Inhibitor Resistant β-Lactamases”, on the Lahey Clinic website).

The commercially available beta-lactamase inhibitors (clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam) were developed to address the beta-lactamases that were clinically relevant in the 1970s and 1980s (e.g. penicillinases). These beta-lactamase inhibitors are poorly active against the diversity of beta-lactamse enzymes (both serine- and metallo-based) now emerging clinically. In addition, these enzyme inhibitors are available only as fixed combinations with penicillin derivatives. No combinations with cephalosporins (or carbapenems) are clinically available. This fact, combined with the increased use of newer generation cephalosporins and carbapenems, is driving the selection and spread of the new beta-lactamase variants (ESBLs, carbapenemases, chromosomal and plasmid-mediated Class C, Class D oxacillinases, etc.). While maintaining good inhibitory activity against ESBLs, the legacy beta-lactamase inhibitors are largely ineffective against the new Class A and Class B carbapenemases, against the chromosomal and plasmid-mediated Class C cephalosporinases and against many of the Class D oxacillinases.

To address this growing therapeutic vulnerability, and because there are three major molecular classes of serine-based beta-lactamases, and one major class of metallo-beta-lactamases, and each of these classes contains significant numbers of beta-lactamase variants, we have identified an approach for developing novel beta-lactamase inhibitors with broad spectrum functionality. In particular, we have identified an approach for developing compounds that are active against both serine- and metallo-based beta-lactamase enzymes. Compounds of the current invention demonstrate potent activity across all four major classes of beta-lactamases.

The present invention is directed to certain boron-based compounds (boronic acids and cyclic boronic acid esters) which are beta-lactamase inhibitors and antibacterial compounds. The compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful alone and in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections, particularly antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. Some embodiments include compounds, compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, use and preparation thereof.

DEFINITIONS

In the following description, certain specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various embodiments. However, one skilled in the art will understand that the invention may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known structures have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring descriptions of the embodiments. Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims which follow, the word “comprise” and variations thereof, such as, “comprises” and “comprising” are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense, that is, as “including, but not limited to.” Further, headings provided herein are for convenience only and do not interpret the scope or meaning of the claimed invention.

Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Also, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. It should also be noted that the term “or” is generally employed in its sense including “and/or” unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.

The term “antibiotic” refers to a compound or composition which decreases the viability of a microorganism, or which inhibits the growth or proliferation of a microorganism. The phrase “inhibits the growth or proliferation” means increasing the generation time (i.e., the time required for the bacterial cell to divide or for the population to double) by at least about 2-fold. Preferred antibiotics are those which can increase the generation time by at least about 10-fold or more (e.g., at least about 100-fold or even indefinitely, as in total cell death). As used in this disclosure, an antibiotic is further intended to include an antimicrobial, bacteriostatic, or bactericidal agent. Examples of antibiotics suitable for use with respect to the present invention include penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems.

The term “β-lactam antibiotic” refers to a compound with antibiotic properties that contains a β-lactam functionality. Non-limiting examples of β-lactam antibiotics useful with respect to the invention include penicillins, cephalosporins, penems, carbapenems, and monobactams.

The term “β-lactamase” denotes a protein capable of inactivating a β-lactam antibiotic. The β-lactamase can be an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring of a β-lactam antibiotic. Of particular interest herein are microbial β-lactamases. The β-lactamase may be, for example, a serine β-lactamase or a metallo-β-lactamase. β-Lactamases of interest include those disclosed in an ongoing website that monitors beta-lactamase nomenclature (www.lahey.org) and in Bush, K. and G. A. Jacoby. 2010. An updated functional classification of β-lactamases. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 54:969-976. β-Lactamases of particular interest herein include β-lactamases found in bacteria such as class A β-lactamases including the SHV, CTX-M and KPC subclasses, class B β-lactamases such as VIM, class C β-lactamases (both chromosomal and plasmid-mediated), and class D β-lactamases. The term “β-lactamase inhibitor” refers to a compound which is capable of inhibiting β-lactamase activity. Inhibiting β-lactamase activity means inhibiting the activity of a class A, B, C, or D β-lactamase. For antimicrobial applications inhibition at a 50% inhibitory concentration is preferably achieved at or below about 100 micrograms/mL, or at or below about 50 micrograms/mL, or at or below about 25 micrograms/mL. The terms “class A”, “class B”, “class C”, and “class D” β-lactamases are understood by those skilled in the art and are described in Bush, K. and G. A. Jacoby. 2010. An updated functional classification of β-lactamases. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 54:969-976.

For example, an alkyl group may be substituted with one or more internal oxygen atoms to form an ether or polyether group. Similarly, an alkyl group may be substituted with one or more internal sulfur atoms to form a thioether, disulfide, etc.

The term “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “optionally substituted alkyl” means either “alkyl” or “substituted alkyl” as defined above. Further, an optionally substituted group may be un-substituted (e.g., —CH₂CH₃), fully substituted (e.g., —CF₂CF₃), mono-substituted (e.g., —CH₂CH₂F) or substituted at a level anywhere in-between fully substituted and mono-substituted (e.g., —CH₂CHF₂, —CH₂CF₃, —CF₂CH₃, —CFHCHF₂, etc). It will be understood by those skilled in the art with respect to any group containing one or more substituents that such groups are not intended to introduce any substitution or substitution patterns (e.g., substituted alkyl includes optionally substituted cycloalkyl groups, which in turn are defined as including optionally substituted alkyl groups, potentially ad infinitum) that are sterically impractical and/or synthetically non-feasible. Thus, any substituents described should generally be understood as having a maximum molecular weight of about 1,000 daltons, and more typically, up to about 500 daltons.

Administration of Pharmaceutical Composition

Suitable routes of administration include, but are not limited to, oral, intravenous, rectal, aerosol, parenteral, ophthalmic, pulmonary, transmucosal, transdermal, vaginal, otic, nasal, and topical administration. In addition, by way of example only, parenteral delivery includes intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramedullary injections, as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intraperitoneal, intralymphatic, and intranasal injections.

In some embodiments, compounds of Formula I and compositions thereof are administered in any suitable manner. The manner of administration can be chosen based on, for example, whether local or systemic treatment is desired, and on the area to be treated. For example, the compositions can be administered orally, parenterally (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular injection), by inhalation, extracorporeally, topically (including transdermally, ophthalmically, vaginally, rectally, intranasally) or the like.

Parenteral administration of the composition, if used, is generally characterized by injection. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solution of suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. A more recently revised approach for parenteral administration involves use of a slow release or sustained release system such that a constant dosage is maintained.

Assays for Antibacterial Activity

Assays for the inhibition of beta-lactamase activity are well known in the art. For instance, the ability of a compound to inhibit beta-lactamase activity in a standard enzyme inhibition assay may be used (see, e g, Page, Biochem J, 295:295-304 (1993)). Beta-lactamases for use in such assays may be purified from bacterial sources or preferably, are produced by recombinant DNA techniques, since genes and cDNA clones coding for many beta-lactamases are known (see, e g, Cartwright & Waley, Biochem J 221:505-12 (1984)).

Alternatively, the sensitivity of bacteria known, or engineered, to produce a beta-lactamase to an inhibitor may be determined. Other bacterial inhibition assays include agar disk diffusion and agar dilution (see, e.g, Traub & Leonhard, Chemotherapy 43 159-67 (1997)). Thus, a beta-lactamase may be inhibited by contacting the beta-lactamase enzyme with an effective amount of an inventive compound or by contacting bacteria that produce the beta-lactamase enzymes with an effective amount of such a compound so that the beta-lactamase in the bacteria is contacted with the inhibitor. The contacting may take place in vitro or in vivo. “Contacting” means that the beta-lactamase and the inhibitor are brought together so that the inhibitor can bind to the beta-lactamase. Amounts of a compound effective to inhibit a beta-lactamase may be determined empirically, and making such determinations is within the skill in the art. Inhibition includes both reduction and elimination of beta-lactamase activity.

Methods.

The present disclosure also provides methods for inhibiting bacterial growth, by, e.g., reducing bacterial resistance to a β-lactam antibiotic, such methods comprising contacting a bacterial cell culture, or a bacterially infected cell culture, tissue, or organism, with a beta-lactamase inhibitor described herein. Preferably, the bacteria to be inhibited by administration of a beta-lactamase inhibitor of Formula I are bacteria that are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. The term “resistant” is well-understood by those of ordinary skill in the art (see, e g Payne et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 38 767-772 (1994), Hanaki et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 30 1120-1126 (1995)).

These methods are useful for inhibiting bacterial growth in a variety of contexts. In certain embodiments, a compound of Formula I is administered to an experimental cell culture in vitro to prevent the growth of beta-lactam resistant bacteria. In certain other embodiments, a compound of Formula I is administered to a mammal, including a human to prevent the growth of beta-lactam resistant bacteria in vivo. The method according to this embodiment comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a beta-lactamase inhibitor for a therapeutically effective period of time to a mammal, including a human. Preferably, the beta-lactamase inhibitor is administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition as described above. In some embodiments, a beta-lactam antibiotic is co-administered with the beta-lactamase inhibitor as described above.

Hollister, Calif.) supplemented with 100 μg/ml kanamycin selection and 1×5052 (0.5% glycerol, 0.05% glucose and 0.2% α-lactose) at 35° C. for 18-20 hours. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (4,000×g, 4° C., 20 min), resuspended in 50 ml of 10 mM HEPES pH 7.5 ( 1/20 of the initial volume). The cells were lysed by sonication (5 pulses of 45 seconds) at 45 W on ice. The lysates were clarified by centrifugation at 10,000×g for 40 minutes at 4° C. Samples were diluted 5-fold in 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0, stored overnight at 4° C., after which they were centrifuged at 10,000×g for 30 minutes to clarify, and filtered through 0.45 μm filters. The samples were loaded onto a 5 ml Capto S sepharose cation exchange column (GE Healthcare) pre-equilibrated with 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0. The column was washed with 5 column volumes of 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0 to wash out unbound protein and a linear gradient of NaCl (0 to 500 mM) was used to elute the protein (over 16 CV) from the column. Fractions were assayed for β-lactamase activity using Centa (Calbiochem, Gibbstown, N.J.) or Nitrocefin (EMD Millipore chemicals, Darmstadt, Germany) as a reporter β-lactamase substrate for activity in the isolated fractions. Active fractions were pooled, concentrated and further purified by gel filtration chromatography on a Superdex 75 prep grade gel filtration column (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, N.J.) pre-equilibrated in 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl. Active fractions were pooled concentrated, quantitated by BCA protein determination (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, Ill.), dialyzed into PBS and frozen at −80° C. in 20% glycerol until use.

For Vim-2 metallo β-lactamase, the procedure was identical with the following exceptions, first the protein was not pH adjusted to pH 5 with 50 mM sodium acetate, second, the chromatography step was changed to a 5 ml Q sepharose anion exchange column pre-equilibrated with 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, and elution of the protein was achieved by a linear gradient of NaCl (0-600 mM). Finally, the VIM-2 purification required a second run (3^(rd) step) on the Q sepharose anion exchange column to achieve acceptable purity (>90%).

β-Lactamase Inhibition.

To determine the level of inhibition of β-lactamase enzymes, compounds are diluted in PBS at pH 7.4 to yield concentrations ranging from 100 to 0.00005 μM in 96-well microtiter plates. An equal volume of diluted enzyme stock is added, and the plates are incubated at 37° C. for 15 min. Nitrocefin is used as substrate for p99 AmpC, VIM-2 and OXA-1 and dispensed into each well at a final concentration of 100 μM. Absorbance at 486 nm is immediately monitored for 10 min using a Biotek Powerwave XS2 microplate spectrophotometer using the GEN5 software package (Biotek Instruments, Winooski Vt.). In an analogous fashion, imipenem is used as substrate for Kpc-2 and Cefotaxime is used for SHV-5, while changes in absorbance upon hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring are monitored at 300 nm and 260 nm respectively in UV-transparent 96-well microtiter assay plates. Maximum rates of hydrolysis are compared to those in control wells (without inhibitors), and percentages of enzyme inhibition are calculated for each concentration of inhibitor. The concentration of inhibitor needed to reduce the initial rate of hydrolysis of substrate by 50% (IC₅₀) is calculated as the residual activity of β-lactamase at 486 nm using GraFit version 7 kinetics software package (Erithacus Software, Surrey, UK).

Example II In Vitro Antibacterial Assays of β-Lactamase Inhibition

To determine the ability of test compounds to potentiate the inhibition of the growth of bacterial strains that produce beta-lactamase enzymes, classic cell based broth microdilution MIC assays are employed. Six bacteria strains producing beta-lactamase enzymes are used: E. coli expressing the Class A Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) CTX-M-15, E. cloacae expressing the Class C P99, K. pneumoniae expressing the Class A carbapenemase KPC-3, P. aeruginosa expressing the Class B carbapenemase VIM-2, K. pneumoniae expressing the class A carbapenemase KPC-2 and the class B carbapenemase VIM-4, and S. aureus producing the Class A penicillinase PC-1. The assay is conducted in Cation Adjusted Mueller Hinton Broth (CAMHB, BD #212322, BD Diagnostic Systems, Sparks, Md.). Bacteria strains are grown for 3-5 hours in CAMBH broth. Test compounds are added to a microtiter plate in 2-fold serial dilutions in CAMHB in a final concentration range of 32 μg/mL to 0.25 μg/ml. An overlay of CAMHB containing a Beta-lactam is added to the compounds at a final static concentration of 4 μg/mL. Ceftazidime (CAZ, Sigma #C3809-1G, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) is used as the partner antibiotic for E. coli expressing Ambler Class A ESBL CTX-M-15 (MIC alone>128 μg/ml), and E. cloacae expressing Class C P99 (MIC alone=128 μg/mL). Meropenem (Mero, USP #1392454, U.S. Pharmacopeia, Rockville, Md.) is used as the partner antibiotic for K. pneumoniae expressing Ambler Class A carbapenemase KPC-3 (MIC alone>128 μg/mL), P. aeruginosa expressing Class A carbapenemase VIM-2 (MIC alone=16 μg/mL), and K. pneumoniae expressing the Ambler Class A carbapenemase KPC-2 and Ambler Class B carbapenemase VIM-4 (MIC alone=64 μg/mL). Piperacillin (Pip, Fisher #ICN15626801, MP Biomidicals, Solon, Ohio) is used as the partner antibiotic for S. aureus producing the Class A penicillinase PC-1 (MIC alone=64 μg/ml). Titration of test compounds with MIC readout indicates the concentration of test article needed to sufficiently inhibit beta-lactamase enzyme activity and protect the intrinsic antibacterial activity of the beta-lactam. In addition to the titration of test compounds, the MICs of a panel of control beta-lactams is also tested to ensure the strains are behaving consistently from test to test. Once the test compound and antibiotics are added the plates can be inoculated according to CLSI broth microdilution method. After inoculation the plates are incubated for 16-20 hours at 37° C. then the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the test compound is determined visually.
